Mauritania has 1 padel venues and 2 courts, so padel is still very much in its infancy here. Football and athletics dominate the sporting landscape, but the racket sport has caught the attention of a small, growing community of enthusiasts in the capital, Nouakchott, and beyond.

The lack of permanent courts doesn't mean you can't play. Temporary nets, hard-court surfaces at private clubs, and even beach padel setups have appeared in recent years. For anyone looking to play regularly, the main challenges are finding a court and connecting with other players — but that's exactly the kind of opportunity early adopters enjoy.

Looking ahead, Mauritania's warm, dry climate for much of the year makes it a suitable destination for outdoor padel, provided courts have appropriate shade and wind protection. Neighbouring Senegal and Morocco already have thriving padel scenes, and Mauritania is well placed to follow their lead as more investors and federations look to expand the sport across West Africa.

Frequently asked questions

How popular is padel in Mauritania?TrustPadel

Padel is extremely new in Mauritania, with only 1 venues and 2 courts currently available. It's a niche sport played by a handful of enthusiasts and expats, but interest is growing as more people learn about it through social media and regional tournaments.

Where should I start playing padel in Mauritania?TrustPadel

With just 1 official padel venues, your best starting point is to enquire at major sports clubs and hotels in Nouakchott, which are most likely to have or know about padel facilities. You can also join expat groups on social media to find informal games and pop-up events.

Which Mauritanian cities are the biggest padel hubs?TrustPadel

The majority of sporting infrastructure is concentrated in Nouakchott, the capital, and the port city of Nouadhibou. However, since Mauritania currently has 1 padel venues and 2 courts, none of these cities can yet be called a true hub. As the sport grows, Nouakchott is the most likely first centre to see dedicated padel clubs.

Who governs padel in Mauritania?TrustPadel

There is no dedicated padel federation in Mauritania yet. The Fédération Mauritanienne de Tennis (Mauritania Tennis Federation) is the closest governing body, and it may take responsibility for padel in the future. Until then, the sport is largely self-organised by players and private clubs.

How do padel prices in Mauritania compare with neighbouring countries?TrustPadel

Because there are only 2 courts in Mauritania, prices are difficult to benchmark. In neighbouring Senegal and Morocco, court hire typically ranges from $10 to $20 per hour. In Mauritania, you can expect comparable rates when courts become available, though import costs for nets and glass may push prices slightly higher initially.

Is padel played indoors or outdoors in Mauritania?TrustPadel

Mauritania's hot climate means indoor or shaded courts are the preferred option for most of the year. With just 2 courts currently, any new facility will likely be built with covered roofs or high shade structures to protect players from the sun. During the cooler months from November to February, outdoor play is feasible.
